I enjoy rocket ctf a little bit but why is it that 99% of the games online are rocket ctf's? I would enjoy a team slayer every once in a while!!

Firstly, there are not that many rocket CTF's. Secondly, if you don't like the amount of Rocket games, set up your own server.

Learn to spell.
It should say "They're all noobs", not "There all noobs"
Other than that, they're all noobs that can't shoot anyway.

I have to agree there are a lot of Heavy-only servers out there, and I don't get it. The only Heavy game I like is 16 players in Wizard or Prisoner slayer to 15 that way it doesn't last too long.

At least some servers have the word HEAVY in the name, so I can avoid them.

I need help!
I also have a problem with the detecated server... most the time when I use hte deticated server I do all the sv_mapcycle_ "timberland" "ctf"
I spell it right cause i look in the troble shooting guild several times... but when the deticated server thingy is up in a window i type all the stuff like sv_mapcycle_begin. When I am done typing that in i thin create my server thing where people can play and usually is states that...
1. Unable to join game
or
2. The cilent is nexer than the server.
How do i fix it.
I use the 1.2 verson.
Beacause I dont know how to update it to the 1.7 or 1.3 version. I downloaded that Haloaded thing.. plus the maps but i still dont under stand how to updat it. When I try to rune the Haloaded thing it tells me the following or pretty close to it.... "Could not find bla bla bla/dll/string i know what evrey thing else is but what is the dll.string
I think it is like this.... program files/microsoft games/halo server/dll.string
somewhere around there. How do I fic thesse things?

Since it won't let me vote i'll write it here "its because they don't know how to play." but for me, its just plain fun to blow there brains out. (and i'm not that great at shooting)

People like CTF because you spawn back at your own base. In slayer you spawn all over the map, sometimes right next to an enemy. With HW that's an easy spawn kill.

A lot of sniper and HW CTF games are set up to get a high body count– 15 flags to win and no vehicles.

Pretty much the same can be said for sniper games without shields– like HW, it's a one shot kill, except with HW, in a tight tunnel, you often kill yourself as well as your oponent. That's why I prefer sniper games– and they're quieter.

Rocket Ctf isn't the greatest, except with 16 people on Longest. Best gametype ever, ROckets CTF to 15. Oh yeah.
Other than that I like Rocket Slayer, but CTF isn't as fun as that. Any amount of people with rockets on Prisoner is fun. Some other maps like that are Longest, Chillout, Chiron (I think I havn't played regular Halo for a while), and Wizard.

I hear you man. I personally hate rocket, or any other heavy weapon games. I just think they're whiny kids who can't aim with a pistol for life, so they show off their so called "skillz" with rockets. Then if they get a helluva lot of kills, they take a screenshot, and show off to their school friends, pretending you did all that with a pistol. They're all just n(ewcomers)...

Just try to avoid any server with HEAVY WEAPONS, or ROCKETS in their titles. And also, wait before you join a server, just highlight the server you'll like to go into, then wait until you see the weapons list in the bottom of the game lobby. If it says that it has heavy weapons, you'll have to find another server. But if it's all weapons, or "All _______ "(anything besides heavies), go in, and start firing some bullets. You deserve it after the horrible exposure to heavy servers.

OMFG!
He spelled one single word wrong. That must mean he can't spell at all!
ATTACK!



Back on topic.
I don't really care. I think that all capture the flag games are pretty fun.

The Halo PC servers reek of Heavy Weapons. It's old, and it needs to stop.

Oh, you made a simple typo. Everybody does it. Even a prefectionist like myself realizes that.

OMFG!

Even I have to agree with him, I mean, it's like he said "omg ppl i hate roket ctf gaems".

I'm going to have to go with the first poll choice and the last poll choice.

I don't mind rockets with CTF, it's quite fun. I think rockets take skill to a certain degree, like when I have to put massive lead on a rocket so it takes out a moving warthog on the other side of the map. What I don't like is the fact that the reason so many people play it is because it is essentially a noob weapon. And c'mon, it's a rocket launcher! Stupid peoples' obsessions of explosions outweighs the fact that the pistol can take out a noob with a rocket launcher in three shots.

It's also because nobody plays slayer, because slayer plays poorly on Blood Gulch, because the spawn points are so close. And most people play on Blood Gulch, which is the most popular map on HPC.

i think you should stop complaining and someone delete this post. its -blam!- stupid, and anyone can find the answer out with a bit of common sense. people make rocket games because its fun and nice. the idea of wiping out a guy in a single shot isn't bad, and they are pretty fun too. so shut the -blam!- up and make a server with no server, -blam!-.

Why don't YOU stfu IceCreamMan3. Yes, sometimes it's pretty fun playing rocket servers, and it also takes some skills to lead the rocket half way across the map, but he was just stating his opinion. I myself hate rocket games, so what are you going to do IceCreamMan3? YELL at me? LMAO. And use proper grammar, at least people with bad opinion knows how to handle a keyboard. If you don't like someone's thoughts, don't even post. He never did anything bad to you, so I strongly suggestthat YOU stop complaining, and start posting stuff that doesn't insult others who hasn't insulted you.

sorry did i say server with no server? whoops i meant rockets.

Don't double post either. There's something called the EDIT button. If you're going to insult people's opinions on things, at least learn how to properly post on these forums first. And an increase in grammar will be really nice as well.

The other day, i was playing the wierdest gmae of roket ctf ever. either that or the enymies where all people who had just started playing that day.

It was on rat race, and i got at least 4 goals even though i ran through tunels that where packed with enymies. I even tried taking the flag with only two helth bars leaft, and still scored, only losing one health bar. it was rediculous!
